CHAPTER 8: ANNOYED

RED

"Emergency? Is she fooling me?" I whispered annoyed as I got into my car.

FLASHBACK

"Mrs. Buenavista is incredibly fortunate; she was gone for a short while and Mr. Buenavista was searching for her right away."

While I was trying to figure out where Chelsea was, I overheard two conversations amongst others. I called an employee of the hotel staff and asked about my wife.

She responded to me, "Umm, Your wife sir? She left half an hour ago, sir…”

END OF FLASHBACK

Where exactly are you, Chelsea?

While driving, I immediately took out my phone and called my secretary. Three rings and she instantly answered my call.

I ordered my secretary, "Do an investigation on Mr. Lee... That's right, the musician... Don't leave any information out, and check into everything."

Meanwhile, when Chelsea got home, she found Mr. Buenavista in the living room. She was surprised to see him waiting on the sofa but what makes her surprised more is how angry Red’s expression was. It was so obvious on his face.

“Oh! What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you be at work now?” Chelsea asked in surprise.

"Is it your job to interfere with my business now, Ms. Garcia?" His face was so serious that made Chelsea scared by just hearing those questions from him. Chelsea bowed her head.

"I apologize, I was too nosy…"

CHELSEA

What does he want now? I was so tired too and I don’t want to make the conversation longer that is why I immediately apologize right just because I asked. I am just curious why he’s still at home. I thought he was going to work by 3 a.m. At times like this, he leaves for work, sometimes even earlier. Why does he get so pissed about that?

"You don't have anything that you want to say to me, Ms. Garcia?" Redemon asked. He crosslegged while staring at me, seems like waiting for something. He seems so serious. Did I do something wrong?

"Mhm?? Ahh yes, by the way, I'm sorry for suddenly leaving the event earlier. There was an emergency at home and I had to take care of it right away. I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye in person." I said as I scratched my nape.

"Hah..." he laughed at what I said. What is wrong with him? Am I even talking to the real Redemon or am I talking to an actual demon right now? "Go to your room!" he shouted at me angrily.

His abrupt shouting caught me off guard, and I quickly rushed up to my room out of panic. I had never seen him this angry before. Did something bad happen at the event while I was gone?

~

In the morning I went to the garden to water the plants. Suddenly, it suddenly entered my mind why Redemon was so angry with me. It's like he's returning to the way he was when I was with him the first time. Gosh, why am I even complaining about his attitude? I am just his fake wife and maid anyways.

After I showered, I immediately went straight to the kitchen to cook Redemon’s breakfast. Sooner or later he will go down and for sure that asshole demon is hungry. I made him fried rice, tofu, eggs, bacon, and fried vegetables. Additionally, I made him juice because he never drank coffee in the morning. After several minutes, as I expected, he came down and went straight to the dining table. I immediately served his food.

I stood in front of him while waiting for his reaction to the food I cooked. I was shocked when he suddenly threw the spoon on the table.

"This is worse than pig food!" he shouted and immediately stood up and called the maid. "Please call the chef and tell him to prepare my breakfast and bring it to my office!" he screamed authoritatively.

Why is he even acting like this? Why didn't he like what I cooked, I didn't burn it. He is such a picky eater! There are a lot of kids in the street who weren’t able to eat breakfast but he was here being ungrateful!

I just left and went to the warehouse to clean the mess there. There are so many papers scattered that they look like business proposals. After an hour I left to buy some groceries. It also took me over an hour and a half on buying all the needed stuff in the mansion, and I immediately went home because I had a lot of cleaning to do. When I got home, I immediately started cleaning. I wiped the floor, windows, and stairs. It was really a tiring day. When I finished, I went straight to the bathroom to take a dip in the bathtub.

I could feel the heat of the water when I sank into the bathtub. I let out a deep sigh as I close my eyes. It is so comfortable.

"I finally survived this day!" I whispered to myself.

While I was feeling the heat of the water, Redemon entered my mind again. I am just wondering why was he so angry at me. He wasn’t like this before. It feels so personal. Did I do something wrong? I instantly slept off while still lying in the bathtub, wondering what had caused him to behave that way today.

15 MINUTES LATER

RED

I'm now looking out the window wondering how he could lie to me. I found out from my secretary that she was with that man, Mr. Lee… What right does she have to make me a fool? She said she will need to go because of an emergency. Does she say that just to get away from me and be with that Mr. Lee?!

"I'll give you one more chance, Chelsea. And if you still don't admit it now, you are going to regret what you did!" I whispered annoyed while my gaze was still outside.

I immediately looked for her and found her soaking in the bathtub while sleeping. Her nose was about to sink, I immediately grabbed her in my hand and lifted her up. Just when I carried her, that’s when I realized that she is completely naked, right now. My cheeks were hot and because of shame, I yelled at her.

"You're really the only one who made me do this! If you weren’t that dumb, I wouldn't have seen your body!" I yelled at her but she still slept soundly and didn't even wake up from my scream.

I carried her to the bed and made sure to lay her down slowly as possible. Is being with Mr. Lee made her tired this much? Her naked body was exposed to me. I just stared at her and noticed that her body shape was really beautiful. I looked at her chest and it feels like it is pulling my hand closer to it.

I was about to touch it when I suddenly realized what I was about to do. What the fuck am I doing? I immediately took the blanket and covered her naked body. I was about to leave when I saw a golden ticket on the side table.

Now everything is clear to me. I stared at her and felt annoyed as I stared at the ticket she received from that man. I can buy her a million tickets if she wants but she chose to be with that man…

"You want to go to a concert with that guy? Fine, I'll help you accomplish your goal. Chelsea Leigh Garcia, you're really draining my patience." I said seriously while looking at the sleeping woman lying on the bed. I left and dropped the ticket and it fell to the floor.

CHELSEA

I suddenly woke up from my deep sleep. I was surprised that I already lying here on my bed.

"Wasn't I in the bathtub earlier? How did I get here on the bed?" I asked myself, curiously.

I looked at my body and I was still naked. I stood up and looked around when I saw the golden ticket that Kent gave me on the floor near the door. I immediately stood up and picked it up.

I almost forgot about the ticket… How will I be able to ask Redemon for permission when he was so angry at me? This is stressing me out!

I got dressed and immediately went downstairs to say ask Redemon for his permission. I saw him sitting on the sofa and busy reading the newspaper. I looked at my phone and the time Kent and I had discussed was getting close. I'm still stuck on how I'm going to get his approval.

Argh! I can handle it. I walked closer to where Redemon was sitting.

"Ahem... Mr. Buenavista…" I shyly called him.

Suddenly he faced me and spoke. "This evening, you'll be attending an event with me, the dress is fully prepared, so you don't have to worry." He said with his natural serious face.

"B-but, Mr. Buenavista, I have an important thing to attend tonight... Is that even really that important and I really need to be with you?" I asked nervously.

I hope he will allow me not to accompany him to the event tonight… It was so embarrassing if I will not show up to the concert. I have already received a free ticket, but I still have the urge not to show up.

You are really a demon, you really always ruin my life!

He suddenly stood up from his seat and approached me with a smile. It looks like this guy will allow me! Does that smile indicate good news? I hope so…

"If you really have to go, then that's fine," he said to me with a smile.

I looked at him with so much joy. My eyes were twinkling with happiness. "Really? You'll let me?" I said as I smiled and jump with joy.

He just smiled, a silly smile, and suddenly he came to the side of my ear and whispered. "However, you will be held accountable for breaking the contract…" he whispered, making my body shiver.
